Letter to the editor: Woman would like wagon stolen in autumn returned

In late September, I planned to give 50 pound bags of MacIntosh apples to our local food pantry. I placed three bags on my own red Radio Flyer wagon in my front yard and put a Green Bay Packers mat on top to protect the fruit.

I admit I was tired from picking off the tree all day. So after I got up from my nap and went out at 2 p.m. , I found the wagon (with my ID on it), an Oconto recycle bin (with my name on it) and the bags of apples under the Packer mats (a birthday present from my family), were gone. I was devastated and upset.

This wagon, I am told, was just a wagon. But being sentimental, anyone around here who has seen me, saw that the wagon went anywhere I did I was when able to get out, especially to get groceries.

I got the wheel frame at an Oconto rummage sale, and had help making the frame from parts from the hardware store. I had just painted it to go to the wonderful Chamber of Commerce Harvest Market and watch the Copperfest Parade.

I have patiently waited for its return, sure those who took it would do the right thing and return it to me. Living by a church and school, I hope the ones involved will show the right attitude to return it to me. Theft is not tolerated here. There's enough programs here glad to help you do right.

Anyone with information on the wagon should report it to the Oconto Police Department.
